(I'm CC-ing ROME dev on this) I believe that Roller uses ROME for its feed parser (although I think Dave has written a client for Atom Publishing Protocol separatly). In any case, he certianly is a ROME committer (he wrote ROME's Atom 1.0 support). I am certain that the ROME developers would react positivly to any proposal to combine forces. It would be unfortunate to end up with Yet-Another-Java-Syndication API just because no one thought to try and combine them. OTOH, ROME's mission is slightly different to this proposal. ROME is designed to be the best possible API for syndication format. That means support for all the RSS "standards" and - increasingly - a degree of leinency in parsing.
